DISC-UK DataShare: state-of-the-art review
No full textDISC-UK DataShare is a collaborative project led by the University of Edinburgh, with the University of Oxford, the London School of Economics (LSE) and the University of Southampton. Its central aim is to develop a model for the deposit of social science datasets in institutional repositories (IRs). The review shows that, although policies and practices currently operate to gather, store and preserve data, chiefly in national, subject-based data centres, much data remains unarchived and is at serious risk of being lost. DataShare believes that IRs may be developed to rescue some of this ‘orphaned data’ and make it available for future research, to the benefit of research communities and wider society.This Review has been undertaken to provide background information to inform the work of DataShare, to summarise and consolidate recent research and current policy relating to data sharing, and to identify knowledge gaps that may need to be addressed during the course of the project. It is also intended to inform the wider community, particularly librarians, of the current state-of-play
A Shared Rhetoric: The Western Front in 1914/15 as reported by Harry Gullett and Philip Gibbs
No full textThe newspaper articles written by the Australian Harry Gullett and his English counterpart Philip Gibbs during the opening months of the First World War provide important insights into the nature of war reporting, propaganda, censorship, and the relationship between the press and the military. Despite differences in background and temperament, their reports, which were written prior to official accreditation, were remarkably similar in tone and content for Gullett and Gibbs shared the belief that war was a regenerative force that would purify and strengthen a degenerate pre-war Britain. Both writers adopted a rhetoric in their initial wartime correspondence that emphasized traditional martial and patriotic values that they believed were an antidote to the weakness and disunity of a pre-war Britain beset by industrial, social and political upheaval. Battles would therefore be best presented as extended heroic narratives in which there was order, honour and greatness. This approach exerted an influence as pervasive as censorship itself
Harry Pepper Fonds
No full textThe fonds consists of newspaper articles written by Harry Pepper from the Rossland Miner and the Trail Times.Born in 1913, Harry Pepper spent most of his youth in Suffolk, England, before immigrating to Canada in 1929. He spent his early years in Canada working on farms during the summer months, and in the bush during the winter. In 1940 he enlisted for the war, and joined the RoyaL Canadian Artillery, fighting in the 8th Canadian Field Regiment. During the war, Harry served in England, North Africa, Italy, France, Belgium and Holland. While overseas, he married, and his new family returned to Canada in 1945. He moved to Trail as a foreman of the 4X Bakery in 1946, and was later employed by Buchan’s Bakery. In 1949 he began working at Cominco, and stayed there until his retirement. Harry Pepper was incredibly active in the sports community in Rossland, and volunteered with soccer, baseball, softball, lacrosse, and hockey. He was also an avid Curler and Golfer. He wrote a sports column for the Rossland Miner called “As I See It” and stayed with the newspaper until the building burned down and it subsequently went out of business. On his 60th birthday, he was asked to do a sports column in the Trail Daily Times called “Pepp Talk”

Wearable Conductive Fiber Sensors for Multi-Axis Human Joint Angle Measurements
No full textBackground: The practice of continuous, long-term monitoring of human joint motion is one that finds many applications, especially in the medical and rehabilitation fields. There is a lack of acceptable devices available to perform such measurements in the field in a reliable and non-intrusive way over a long period of time. The purpose of this study was therefore to develop such a wearable joint monitoring sensor capable of continuous, day-to-day monitoring. Methods: A novel technique of incorporating conductive fibers into flexible, skin-tight fabrics surrounding a joint is developed. Resistance changes across these conductive fibers are measured, and directly related to specific single or multi-axis joint angles through the use of a non-linear predictor after an initial, one-time calibration. Because these sensors are intended for multiple uses, an automated registration algorithm has been devised using a sensitivity template matched to an array of sensors spanning the joints of interest. In this way, a sensor array can be taken off and put back on an individual for multiple uses, with the sensors automatically calibrating themselves each time. Results: The wearable sensors designed are comfortable, and acceptable for long-term wear in everyday settings. Results have shown the feasibility of this type of sensor, with accurate measurements of joint motion for both a single-axis knee joint and a double axis hip joint when compared to a standard goniometer used to measure joint angles. Self-registration of the sensors was found to be possible with only a few simple motions by the patient. Conclusion: After preliminary experiments involving a pants sensing garment for lower body monitoring, it has been seen that this methodology is effective for monitoring joint motion of the hip and knee. This design therefore produces a robust, comfortable, truly wearable joint monitoring device.National Science Foundation (Grant: NSF 0097700

Digital Preservation Tools for Repository Managers 1: organisational issues
No full textThe 5-module JISC KeepIt course on Digital Preservation Tools for Repository Managers was designed by repository managers. Each module consists of a mix of short presentations and hands-on exercises to learn about the basics and gain practice with each of the tools covered. Module 1 covers organisational issues such as scoping the repository, selection, assessment and institutional parameters. Tools include the Data Asset Framework (DAF) for scoping data content for institutional repositories, and the AIDA toolkit for assessing institutional capabilities to support digital asset management. Materials here include presentations on these tools, also on how the DAF was used to scope data types in the School of Social Sciences at the University of Southampton, and an introduction to the module. Details of the exercises are provided, so the full course module can be experienced by other users

Harry S Blaine Interview
No full textHarry S. Blaine was born in Senceca County, Ohio, on June 27, 1880. He was a retired assistant superintendent of mails for the Toledo Post Office, clock and watch collector, and an author of numerous historical papers on the history and residents of the Toledo area. He gave a family history and the reasons they came to Toledo as well as a description of Toledo in 1891. He spoke of his varied careers in Toledo, including driving a wagon for a tinner in the Old West End, and jobs at the Madison and Boody House Hotels. Mr. Blaine died in Toledo at the age of 87 on May 12, 1968
